22 Jan 10 - "Climate researchers and the Weather Channel's founder
accuse NASA of the same deliberate manipulation and distortion of
climate data as Britain's Climate Research Unit," says this article in
Investors Business Daily.

In a report on KUSI television, Weather Channel founder John Coleman
accuses NASA's two primary climate centers, the National Climatic Data
Center (NCDC) in Asheville, N.C., and the Goddard Institute for Space
Studies at Columbia University in New York City, of "creating a strong
bias toward warmer temperatures through a system that dramatically
trimmed the number and cherry-picked the locations of weather
observation stations they use to produce the data set on which
temperature record reports are based."

Joseph D'Aleo, of www.icecap.us (a
great website), said the analysis found that NASA "systematically
eliminated 75% of the world's stations with a clear bias toward removing
higher-latitude, high-altitude and rural locations."

"The number of actual weather stations used to calculate average global
temperatures was reduced from about 6,000 in the 1970s to about 1,500
today. The number of reporting stations in Canada dropped from 600 to
35."

The article goes on to describe "dramatic and selective deletions of
thermometers from cold locations ... patterns of deletion that could not
be accidental ... a scientific travesty committed by activist scientists
to advance the global warming agenda."
